Shopping for a musical theater fan- live stage versions on film?

Question

I'm shopping for a gift for my daughter. Most years I get her a musical... sometimes a film musical version (like Chicago, or the recent Les Mis movie) but mostly she loves filmed live stage musicals.

I've gotten her in the past stage versions of:
- into the woods
- cats
- chess (actually I think it's just the concert, not the full production)
- phantom of the opera
- rent
- Victor/Victoria 
- les mis 10th anniversary concert

I know she's a big fan of things like Wicked, Les Mis, Phantom, & Spring Awakening... just so you know her tastes.

I saw Jeckyl & Hyde the musical stage version on Amazon & the reviews were not so hot and she never really mentions that one so I hesitate to get it and am looking for other ideas first.

Even collections that show a collection of numbers from different big musicals would be cool (like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or Tony Award performances or some kind of collection like that if any exist).

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance...

If she's a fan of Neil Patrick Harris, they have live versions of Company and Sweeney Todd. Sweeny Todd is a concert similar to Les Mis 10th. If you want to go with a film version of a musical, you have the classics like Sound of Music, Oklahoma! (which there is a really good live version by a Canadian cast), and Cabaret,  but there's also more modern shows like Nine.

How about Cats?  This has been performed on stage and filmed live on stage too.  This via Youtube link will give you some idea.
